Part I- Macronutrients and Energy
1. Janine and Mitchell are talking about
a. Protein is a molecule that contain nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Protein is used to give energy to the body because of the amino acids found in protein. Some examples of good sources of protein are milk, eggs, different meats, and even in vegetables.
b. Carbohydrates are molecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, and water. Carbs are used for energy; glucose and glycogen provide about half the energy muscles and other body tissues use. Some examples of carbohydrates are whole grains, vegetables, and fruits.
c. Fats, also called lipids, are molecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Lipids can provide more energy than carbs because they have more

When Janice made the statement about carbs and getting cranky, she was right. Carbohydrates are responsible for giving the brain energy, thanks to glycogen and glucose. The nervous system uses glucose by sending it to the blood stream to be sent to the rest of the body, especially the brain.
3. Too much protein can be harmful for the kidneys because it can cause the kidneys to overwork, which can lead them to secrete too much ketones and it can lead to

Set point theory is the idea that the body maintains its weight with controls in the body telling it to do so. Toxins are not involved in the set point theory. Body size and homeostasis are related in the way that the body does not want things to change, it wants things in the body to stay as constant and the same as possible, which is one reason why it is so difficult to lose weight.
3. Metabolism is the sum of all the chemical reactions that go on in living cells. Metabolism has a lot to do with energy balance and body weight because it determines how fast the cells have chemical reactions occur. If the metabolism of someone is faster than the metabolism of someone else, then that person burns fat and uses energy faster than someone whose metabolism is slower.
4. This statement is true because when the body has a high muscle mass, the cells of the body have to work harder and faster to burn fat and create energy. This requires that the person eat more than someone with less muscle because they have a higher metabolism.
5. A diuretic is something that is used for people trying to lose weight. The effect of diuretics can be helpful or harmful on the body, depending on how it works within the body. A diuretic effects homeostasis because it changes chemical reactions in the body, which makes it so that the body loses fluids easier and
Carbohydrates, proteins and lipids are known as macronutrients as the body needs masses of these nutrient components in order to carry out the bodies’ essential functions.
1. Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen make up carbohydrates. Small carbs contain twice as many hydrogen atoms as oxygen atoms; simple sugars, called monosaccharides, are the basic building blocks for
Carbohydrates are organic compounds that are made up of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. Carbohydrates are used as a point of supplies of energy. The energy is stored and can be used in the future.
1) What does the body use carbohydrates for? One of the main jobs of carbohydrates is to provide fuel for the body to do its job. So if we want to run or walk somewhere or play sports or even work -- all of those activities use carbohydrates. It is our main energy source and helps the body maintain energy.
1. Carbohydrates: Are Molecule composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and they include sugars and starches.
Carbohydrates, fats and proteins are three energy-yielding nutrients. They can also be called macronutrients. Carbohydrates are energy-yielding nutrients because they provide four kilocalories per gram. Carbohydrates can include starch and sugar. Fats or lipids can provide nine kilocalories per gram. They are a form of energy that is concentrated. Proteins provide four kilocalories per gram. When someone eats these three macronutrients and they do not use energy right away, it is stored as fat in the body. If someone is very active, they will use the macronutrients as their energy. If someone takes in an insufficient amount of protein, the person will store it but will then make the person lose body weight because it
Today my mother woke up and ate a voile roll with cream cheese. This dish can be classified as a carbohydrate for the voile roll(bread) and lipid for the cream cheese. (cheese) For lunch, she consumed noodles with beef soup. This can be classified as a protein for the beef, and carbohydrates for the noodles. For dinner, she consumed fried fish and rice. This can be classified as protein for the fish and carbohydrates for the rice.
* *HOMEOSTASIS:** homeostasis is defined as the regulation of the bodily functions that makes living possible. examples could be; water level, salt level, glucose level, oxygen level, body temprature etc. this is done through negative and positive feedback. the body senses a change through receptors, notifies the control center and makes the effectors 1) regulate
Diuretics reduce circulating volume, enhance sodium and water excretion and improve symptoms but can cause true hypovolemia from excessive fluid loss or hypokalaemia from potassium loss
Watching historical movies has brought me closer to seeing how World War II affected the world as a whole. The relationship between movies and history varies throughout movies as some movies mask some of the truth to please an audience. The movie “Alone in Berlin” was based off of 1940 WWII era where a couple used letters to try and change society. The accuracy of this movie is beyond belief as most of the events happened factually from the death of the boy starting the plot to the old lady committing suicide. In “Pearl Harbor” based on the 1941 attack the movie follow the sequence of events leading to the attack.
Metabolism is defined as the sum total of the chemical reactions occurring in an organism. Mice were used to determine metabolic rate by the rate of oxygen consumption. Consequently, body mass corresponds directly with metabolic rate because the mouse that weight the most (42.9 g) also consumed the most oxygen per minute (Avg.O2/m = 2.94 ml). In contrast, the smallest mouse (12g) oxygen consumption only consisted of Avg.O2/m of 1.44 ml.
Proteins are necessary for growth and repair of body tissue and 4 calories of energy from each gram of protein. Carbohydrates, which are the most accessible form of energy, have the same ration of calories to energy
The four types of macromolecules in living organisms are; carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Carbohydrates are our bodies’ energy boosters so that we can tackle our daily routines. The ring-shaped objects that are referred to as the building blocks of carbohydrates are called monosaccharides. Glucose, galactose, and fructose are well-known monosaccharides (Daempfle, 2016). Lipids exist as neutral fats, phospholipids, and steroids that are contained in fat cells to be utilized as extended duration storage of energy. Lipids are similar to carbohydrates but with increased amounts of carbon and hydrogen. Proteins are the predominant of all the macromolecules in living systems. They are an instrumental part of our bodies that consist
Carbohydrates are easily used for energy by the body. You eat complex starches or simple sugars. Human bodies break down carbohydrates to the simplest form using glucose The nervous system and brain need the glucose formed from breakdown of carbohydrates. If carbohydrates are not available, the body burns lipids/fats for energy.
Carbohydrates are sugars that contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio. They can be used for storage, structure, and energy. An example is glucose, with chemical formula C6H12O6.
